Gratitude Journal for 28th September 2022 (Wednesday)

My new iPhone 14 delivered by NinjaVan today

Things I'm grateful for:

• I faced a challenging class today, I was angry and upset with them (and myself for not doing better) after just 30 min in there. I told myself at least I got it over and done with, I should move on from this lousy episode and now I feel better. 
• Mum brought a lot of food for me today and I realised I will not finish all the food as we're only eating at home three times this week. I felt bad telling her not to bring me so much food and I was acting like a spoilt brat. I'm lucky and I'm loved. 
• My new iPhone 14 came. We did not get a new phone last year, I did not plan to get one but one day last week P just got excited and ordered one for me. 
• I got home earlier than usual, got my food and nap and now I feel lazy to go out for a walk again. But I'm well rested.

Things I'm looking forward to:

• Seeing the folks this weekend.
• Getting over with the busy busy day tomorrow.
• The staycation this weekend.

Something new on the menu 

Things I'm grateful for:

• Been through a emotional roller coaster at work earlier but it all ended well so Monday was not so blues for me afterall
• Left school at 6.30pm and I was still at Yishun at 7pm so I took a ride home, had dinner with P and went for our walk. I slept real late last night after meditation, skipped my nap today but right now I'm still feeling fine
• We tried out a new western food stall at the usual mookata coffeeshop, it was really not bad and we finally spent time doing our long walk

Things I'm looking forward to:

• Glad I've survived Monday, just want to get through with the week. One day, one week at a time.

Amazing mookata dinner

Things I'm grateful for:

• P and I had a good mookata dinner just now, we usually take a walk to the PCN after that but I'm not up to it tonight due to red alert and cramps
• I totally forgot about my manicure/pedicure appointment today! It's really unlike me to forget about such things, but I'm glad my usual manicurist waited for me to arrived and I managed to get my nails done. 
• Me time this weekend! Not much work done this weekend as I'm now determined to spend more me-time on weekends and holidays, partly also due to the discomfort and cramps. Anyway, I am much more productive when I stay behind to finish my work on weekdays.

Things I'm looking forward to:

• The next weekend and the meetup with the girls on Friday!

P surprised me with iPad mini

Comparing with iPad Air + Magic Keyboard

Things I'm grateful for:

• P suddenly came to me with a surprise, he bought me a iPad mini as I vaguely had the idea of getting one but he knew I would never get down to buy it
• I loved the size and weight of the iPad mini a lot more but he was encouraging me to go with the iPad Air instead as it can be useful for researching and blogging while on the move
• It's been almost 11 years since I got my last iPad 2
• We almost did not visit the folks today as P was not feeling and when he was better we took hours driving around. It was an achievement for me as I drove to Sim Lim Square (toughest), then Apple Orchard (it got easier) and ran an errand at Alexandra Road. We only reach my parents' place at 10pm. 

Things I'm looking forward to:

• I cant say I'm looking forward to the weekend being over but the next week is already T4W3 and I cant wait for the school year to be over.

Things I am looking forward to:

• Lots of sleep and rest (and hopefully some rain) this weekend
• Visiting the folks tomorrow

Things I am grateful for:
